Does anyone here know if they would be interchangable from a 92-94 car to a 95? More specifically, the rear lines.

Doubtful. They MIGHT, but might not.

Do you have a leak?

You could cut out the section of leaky hard line (or crushed or whatever), flare the hardline, and use a fitting and replace that section with a stainless steel line. VRG3 on Legacy Central discussed all of the parts necessary. It could be done, and should be perfectly reliable. It's sound in theory at least.

Here is a link for you:

Is this the kind of problem you are having? Or do you need to run a new line from the front of the car for some reason?

I just replaced the hard line in my front driver side. If you have a leak, just buy new tubing and a tubing bender, its not very difficult to do. Only cost me 22 bucks for the tube, bender, brake cleaner, and a car wash :lol:

I think EXP's brake lines are borked completely. He's probably looking at a full replacement.

I will know later today. The hardline is leaking above the gas tank. i'm going to get the car up on a rack later and drop the tank to see just how extensive the damage is. From the looks of the visible part of the line, it is rusted pretty badly. If some of the line is usable, I plan on just flaring + adding a new piece of line as my father and I did with his '49 Ford, but if the line is as badly rusted as it appears to be, I may end up calling the stealership or checking the status of the hardlines on a '96 wagon in a local junkyard.
